What drama skills are used for commedia dellarte?

Commedia Dell'arte is a form of theatre that uses masked actors to enhance the physical attributes of the characters. There is a major focus on the movement of the characters in this style of theatre and, therefor, it is one of the skills required for effective performance.


Why were masks used in the commedia dellarte?

Masks were used in commedia dell'arte to convey specific character traits, emotions, and social status, allowing actors to portray exaggerated personalities. Each mask represented a distinct archetype, such as the cunning servant or the foolish old man, which helped audiences quickly identify characters and their roles in the story. Additionally, masks allowed for a greater emphasis on physical comedy and expression, as actors could exaggerate their movements and gestures without being limited by facial expressions. Overall, masks played a crucial role in enhancing the theatrical experience and the improvisational nature of the performances.
